Retrograde Sun
Introduction
Everything you wanted to know about a retrograde Sun but were too afraid to ask
There really are only two responses to the title of this piece. Ok, maybe more than two, but the essence of each will be the same as they are just variations on a theme.
The first response is “I have to learn about this new feature in astrology” and the second reaction is “What’s she banging on about now?”
Part 1: If you don’t know about retrograde Suns
Read this part if you have a retrograde Sun in your chart, if it is in a member of your family’s nativity, it has cropped up in a friend’s horoscope or if you wish to learn how to interpret one.
- Decide if it is a daytime or nighttime birth
- Check for converse progressions
- Realize that astrology has many confusing details
- Calculate the chart with Regiomontanus house cusps
- Book in for the class “Astronomy for Astrologers”
- Make sure to discuss this interesting phenomena at you next astrology meeting
Part 2: If you do know all about retrograde Suns
Read this part if you know about retrograde Suns or if you have come across them before. Here are some thoughts on how to proceed.
- A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
- Choose your mentors wisely
- Always be on the lookout for a sense of humor
- Know that not all those reading this have your powers
- Get behind the “All practitioners must get certified” regime
- Go outside, stand in the Sun and smile
Remember everyone sees the world through the lens of their own chart. What one person sees is often different to how you view things.
Who is correct?
Sometimes it is not easy to tell.
Let astrology inspire you.
